Compute (a) last year's CM ratio and the break-even point in balls, and (b) the degree of operating leverage at last year's sales level. 2. Due to an increase in lobor rates, the company estimates that next year's variable expenses will increase by $3.00 per ball. If this change takes place and the selling price per ball remains constant at $25.00, what will be next year's CM ratio and the break-even 3. Refer to the data in (2) above. If the expected change in variable expenses takes place how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $187,000, as last year? 4. Rofer again to the data in (2) above. The president feels that the company must also the selling price of its basketballs.

The new plant would slosh variable expenses per ball by 40.00%, but it would cause fixed expenses per year to double. If the new plant is built what would be the company's now CM ratio and new break even point in bolls? 6. Refer to the data in (5) above. a. If the new plant is built how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $187,000, as last 6.
